Bearing the Heat: The Summer Heatwave in Lower Saxony
If you thought June was hot, buckle up! June's temperature surge has left its mark: this June is, according to Dominik Jung of wetter.net, "in the range of the warmer June months" since 1881. Expect the scorching heat to continue, with temperatures hovering around 30 degrees throughout the weekends of June 21st and 22nd. As if June wasn't sultry enough, Jung predicts that July will follow suit, surpassing its new climate average of 1991 to 2020 by a full one to two degrees. And to make things even more sweltering, there's not much rain expected - drought conditions may prevail.
Stepping into a Heat Wave: June Sizzles in Lower Saxony
"A New Heatwave Approaching"
The forecast hints at a bumpy ride in the coming weeks, with temperatures fluctuating wildly. While we might experience lows of 21 to 25 degrees, the weekend of June 28th could send the mercury soaring to the 30-degree mark once more. According to Jung, a new heatwave is on the horizon. So, while the weather in Lower Saxony will remain warm, prepare for temperatures to creep ever higher.
More to Ponder:
July may just take the heat from June and run wild. On July 1st, temperatures may peak at an alarming 38 degrees Celsius! A massive influx of warm air will fuel this record-breaking heatwave, according to the GFS model. "The trend will continue, with a constant base warmth, and sporadic heat peaks of 35 degrees or more," assures Jung. But there's always room for change: whether these forecasts will materialize remains to be seen. One thing's for sure: Lower Saxony is in for a scorching summer, as the heat stays put and the peaks keep rising.
